The topic of women giving babies up for adoption isn’t new on TV, but “I’m Having Their Baby” makes the tough topic new and heartbreakingly real.

Each episode follows two women in the third trimester of their pregnancies as they deal with selecting the adoptive parents—and then, after the babies are born, deciding whether they will go through with it.

The pregnant girls and women on the show are in, if not unique, then at least unusual circumstances.

Amanda, a 29-year-old mother, is raising two boys of her own as well as one of her boyfriend’s sons. The blended family works very well, but they do not have an extra dime — or extra time — to raise another baby.

Mariah, on the other hand, is 18 and without a partner and found herself pregnant with her second child when her first was just 3 months old.

What makes “Baby” so riveting is that the women they’ve chosen are all wise—if not always well-educated.

Amanda explains that her parent’s best friends were a gay couple who helped raise her and her siblings, because her parents were overwhelmed. For that reason, she and her boyfriend have chosen a gay male couple in Alaska to adopt their baby.

The couples become like family during the pregnancy — only problem is that Amanda’s sister has been trying unsuccessfully to have a baby and wants to adopt their child.

Mariah’s problem is that her own mother wants the baby — except when Mariah was just 14 herself, her mother ran off to another state with a man, leaving her and her siblings.

Mariah’s found a great couple, but her irresponsible mother is making her feel like a criminal.

On next week’s episode, we meet Mary, a 25-year-old church secretary whose husband of five years told her he wanted a divorce. She then had an affair and got pregnant with the other man’s child.

Still married but separated, the husband says he’d consider taking her back — but not with another man’s baby.

Mary finds great adoptive parents, but is any man worth giving up your baby?

Claudia, 20, was raised with 13 siblings in horrendous poverty in Haiti — until, at age 10, she was adopted by a white family in the US.

Now, she finds herself pregnant by a man whom she later found out has six children with three other women. He neither supports or even sees any of them. Yet he refuses to sign papers to let Claudia give the baby up to a loving couple.

No, this is not a “Teen Mom” knock-off. These are heart-wrenching stories that will make you cry and renew your hope in, well, at least TV.
